Sam Denby, Ben Doyle and Adam Chase opened the Japan season of their Nebula travel game show with a world premiere at Picturehouse Central, joined by Tom Scott.
Sam Denby, Ben Doyle and Adam Chase premiered Japanorama at Picturehouse Central in the West End on Saturday 1 August 2026. It is the nineteenth season of Jet Lag: The Game, their Nebula travel game show.
Denby, an American creator born in 1998, started the Wendover Productions channel in 2010 to explain aviation, logistics and geography. He is chief content officer of Nebula, the creator-owned streaming service, and launched Jet Lag with Doyle and Chase in May 2022.
Each season turns a country or a continent into a game board. The three race, hide and chase one another across it on public transport. The series has won a popular-vote Webby Award.
The first episode played across all seven of the cinema’s screens and went out live to Picturehouse cinemas across Britain. The day opened with a live recording of The Layover, the companion podcast. After the screening, the four took questions on stage with Ali Plumb.
The English presenter Tom Scott joined them as guest competitor. He grew up in Mansfield and built an audience of millions with Things You Might Not Know. He returned to weekly videos in March 2026 with Tom Scott: England.
